[quote=diehardskin2982;825297]Because we have not seen Torian I am tempted to cut him. These kids are younger healthier options.[/quote]

I doubt it -- torain was having a pretty nice season for us and his experience alone gives him an advantage over royster and helu. Torain, Helu, and Hightower will make the roster with Royster going to the PS -- that being said, I hope we can hang on to Royster and not have someone claim him

[quote=12thMan;825510]So you you have Gnomes making the team over Horton? I can live with that. Horton really hasn't been the same from a couple of years ago when he was racking up interceptions and then later got injured.

It would be nice if all the Huskers made the active roster.[/quote]

yeah, I just don't see the spot for him. doughty is no world beater, and if he's starting, your team's in trouble (just not fast enough), but he's competent and horton has just looked... awful. too many blown coverages. gomes had a couple good plays and hasn't seemed any worse, and he fights less ;) .

If Niles can make the squad, all the Huskers will probably make it.

I've really been impressed with Austin. I think he's ready to contribute this year.

Austin definitely stays. His ability to do more than one thing enhances his chances. Some tough decisions at RB & WR.

Does anybody know when the roster cut down dates are?

[quote=SmootSmack;825494]If they're serious about getting younger...and better...it's time for Sellers to go.

One kind of interesting thing, I hear that in practice they've been running a lot of plays this past week with Key Williams as the primary 3rd down back, not as a FB. So not sure what could mean.[/quote]

That's wrong. NFL notified all teams on I think Thursday that bc of the lockout it would be cut down to 80 players, not 75. I don't have any link on me though
